Beth Wilkin-Waldmann
I’m a former TV news producer turned stay-at-home mom to my preschooler Madeline and baby Bennett. While I may stay at home, Madeline, Bennett and I are always on the go exploring Knoxville and making new friends. I'm a coffee addict, book lover, fashion-phile, occasional cook and bargain hunter. My guilty pleasures include Pinterest and bad reality TV. I believe a sense of humor is an essential survival skill. And--lucky me--my funny husband Andy always keeps me laughing. Follow me on Knoxville Moms Blog as I chronicle this challenging and rewarding adventure we call motherhood!
